The elevator system for vehicles is intended for a parking garage having a central elevator shaft (13) consisting of two semi-circles. Parking areas (14) are arranged around the elevator shaft at different levels. Each area has a central semi-circle shaped inner edge (16) adjoining the elevator shaft (14). The elevators which can be operated independently of each other, are arranged in the elevator shaft. Each elevator platform (1) is supported on an approximately diametric cross beam (17) extending over the elevator shaft (1). The platform (1) extends there from halfway into the elevator shaft (13). The cross beam (17) is mounted and guided on vertical rails (8, 28) outside of the elevator shaft (13). The carrying cables (6) for the cross beam (17) having the platform (19) and for the counterweight (7) are arranged outside of the central elevator shaft (13), above the top parking deck (9).
Elevator system for vehicles in a parking garage with a central elevator shaft (13) and parking areas (14) arranged around the said elevator shaft, each floor having a central and circular inner edge (16) connected to the elevator shaft (15), characterized in that two elevators are arranged in the elevator shaft which can be operated independently of each other;
Elevator system for vehicles according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that each elevator platform (1) can be moved laterally with tow linear bearings into the center of the circle or semi-circle of the assessed vehicle park halves.
Elevator system for vehicles according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that each elevator platform (1) is supported on a rotary disc (2) and is motor driven on the said rotary disc above the cross beam (17) so as to be pivotable, and in that the two end sides (18) of the elevator platform (1) are wedged in pivoting an end piece (19) with the closest circular inner edge (16) of the parking area on each parking floor so that the elevator platform (1) forms on both sides a plan continuous surface with the parking area (14) and the two end pieces (19) and is tightly connected so that the change of the weight on the elevator platform (1) can be supported by the parking areas (14).
Elevator system for vehicles according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that each cross beam (17) is longer than the diameter of the elevator shaft (13) and extends through the said elevator shaft almost in a diametric manner and in that this cross beam (17) is supported on a vertical rail (8) on both sides, on the top and at the bottom over each Roll (22) as well as supported by cross bearings (27) and guided by roller bearings laterally on a central rail (28), on the periphery of the elevator shaft (13).
Elevator system for vehicles according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the end pieces (19) are mechanically guided on the edges (21) of the platforms on the end side with their edges (24) facing the platforms (1).
Elevator system for vehicles according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the end pieces (19) are pivotably connected with the platforms (1) by mechanic supporting and steering shafts and can pivoted pneumatically, hydraulically or by an electro motor in front of the end sides (18) of the platforms (1) and which can be pivoted in the opposite direction of the end sides (18).
Elevator system for vehicles according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that each elevator platform (1) is driven by its own driving device (10) and in that the two elevator platforms (1) can be operated independently of each other which is guaranteed by means of an electronic unit that the car can cross only when the platforms (1) are in the initial condition, e.g. extend parallel to the cross beam (17).
